Orochi's Lair

The Orochi's Lair is a volcanic cave in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It is nearly adjacent to Jipang, and houses the altar on which maidens from the golden land are sacrificed to the eponymous serpent.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

The lair is a simple dungeon, consisting of two floors with a direct route with few branches. Metal slimes appear fairly regularly and in large groups, giving the party a chance to level up before facing the dragon.

If the altar on B2F is examined, it is mentioned as the possible place where sacrifices to Orochi are left.
